The Therapeutic Center for Children and Families is made up of a multidisciplinary team, each of whom have expertise in multiple therapeutic modalities of treatment. Some examples of treatment used at the Center include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is based on the theory that our thoughts have substantial control over our feelings and behaviors. The benefit of this type of treatment is that if we can change the way we think then we can change the way we feel and act even if there are negative environmental factors. Many studies show that individuals who suffer from depression and various forms of anxiety; including phobias, obsessive-compulsive and panic disorders find this type of treatment successful and beneficial.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that brings a family together to solve shared problems. Instead of working with each individual separately, family members work collaboratively and in return strengthen the family system as a whole.
Couples Therapy
Not only can this form of therapy be utilized by married couples, but also for any couple who is in a committed relationship. While engaging in treatment a couple will have the opportunity to develop effective communication and problem-solving techniques. Couples are able to learn how to build upon the strength of their relationship and meet the demands and stress that everyday life can bring.
In-home Family Therapy
Finding the right balance and creating a calm safe and nurturing home environment can seem at times like a near impossibility. The goal of the in-home family treatment model is to use components of Family Therapy within the home setting where the problems often originate. Individualized goals and interventions, as well as “in the moment” coaching, are used to help set into motion the power to change. more information...
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a technique whereby the natural means of a child’s expression, “play”, is used as a therapeutic model to help a child cope with emotional stress or loss. It has been used effectively with children dealing with such issues as divorce, sibling rivalry, abuse, sleep disturbances, trauma, as well as mood and anxiety problems.
